3. Attempted to set up this new Puppy Phone version for use.
Previous problems were gone.
Was able to use "Setup" to enter all my details, and move on to the next step, where I had problems as follows:

4. Used "Add+" to add smokey01 as a buddy, which succeeded, but...
(a) His "Nickname" was displayed as "Puppy" [rather than the text I entered as his nickname], when I entered that text as "Category".
(b) Highlighted/selected the line and tried to use "Edit", but the program was/is frozen.
Won't "Remove" either.
(c) Am I doing something wrong?

Sylvander try starting without a .psip.conf file. There have been many changes and the later .psip.conf files are different, quite different.

What logging tool is best for determining the cause of crashes like this?

Well, in this particular case, I put print statements inside the code and re-compile. You could in theory enable maximum logging level in the setup dialog, but in this case the crash happens before you even have the chance to set the log-level ...

That being said:

I just tested in Slacko RC++ - I used my binary compiled in Wary 5.0, it crashed just like Sylvander said. The function that crash is internal pjsip library's set-sound-device
Smokey01 will come up with one that is compiled properly in Slacko - hopefully this will mitigate the issue.

I need to eat back my words. The binary compiled in Wary works. It failed in Slacko when I run Slacko inside VirtualBox - so it's VirtualBox problem.

The problem.
when I am talking on psip, occasionally the line goes quiet but the call is still connected in the call window, after some trial and error I have discovered that if I check the hold box for that call, then uncheck it, the call returns to normal. (without dropping the call) (according to the terminal window I have just suspended the call and then made it active, there is no entry for the line actually going quiet)

When this happens, please use the "Stats" button on the call window, and notice the lines after RX and TX line - which shows the number of network packets you have received. These numbers should increase with time, it they don't, you're not getting them --> something wrong with your network.

what I have tried so far: different versions of puppy, different versions of psip, different router (all lan connections), different pc,s (incase it is hardware related). have even portfowarded the routers on 5060/5061 all without sucsess

Don't port-forward your routers, this is unnecessary except in the most extreme circumstances.

EDIT: The only thing I can see from your log is that you are experiencing a lot of packet loss (ie your network connection seems to be unstable, for whatever reasons) ... and after enough packet loss, psip just give up and drop the entire voice call. Using "hold" and "unhold" basically is the same as "drop and then call again" - so it re-starts the voice call again.
You're saying you're on LAN, so this is impossible? Try to change your SIP port from the default 5060 to say 5070 or something else, and see if that helps.

1. "Sylvander try starting without a .psip.conf file"
Having just now uninstalled Psip32-1.2-Slacko [working within Slacko-5.29.5 RC]...
Tried to "Find" a file named .psip.conf without success.
Then searched for psip, and the only file found was the PET file used to install the program.

2. Now having re-installed Psip32-1.2-Slacko...
I disabled the firewall, and the sound check was OK....
But...
The program is freezing when I attempt to enter my details.

The attached .pet Psip32-1.2-Wary512.pet
is a repackaged Psip32-1.2-Lucid.pet, but the actual psip binary was compiled in Wary-5.12 especially for dogle

It was working OK for me on my Acer laptop, i was able to listen to the iptel Music test,
and also run the echo test too, and i even sent a voice mail to dogle
to let him know that i have posted this here (i hope he received it )

Not good news though - I still get the same error messages re. Psip32's attempts to setup its initial audio configuration, and it still freezes when I attempt to put in data, without establishing a /.psip.config file.

Anyway maybe this is progress ... whatever the problem is, seems it is not resolved by recompiling as you have so kindly done. (I'm running a bit short on ideas right now).

has anyone else notice that Wary's devx is missing several .so files? ... causes some severe bloatage (cairo, png,rsvg, xvidcore ...) or maybe I have the wrong devx? the binaries are a lot smaller without a static cairo

Not good news though - I still get the same error messages re. Psip32's attempts to setup its initial audio configuration, and it still freezes when I attempt to put in data, without establishing a /.psip.config file.

It's almost certain the lock-up is caused by the specific interaction between pjsip's audio library (PortAudio), ALSA, and your machine. I have similar lock-up on very specific conditions then I run psip32 under VirtualBox - but not others. pjsip (the underlying library used by PSIP) can also under ALSA directly but it's horribly immature (I can't even get it to work on my machine). I welcome anyone who knows PortAudio better to look into pjsip's source and find what's wrong with that.

Not with me - I have all these libraries?

You had me worried for a moment! I just checked, cairo, png, rsvg -- .so files are present. I am running Wary 5.1.106.

But, there is no libxvidcore.so!
...I'll fix it.

its probably the sfs version strings biting me in the but... symlinks were there, but pointed to wrong/missing versions(i usually just rename the devx as the zdrv ... have to version it now and its difficult to keep track, ill probably just start using my sfs linker that I posted in jwmtools, its just as fast and no headaches when in pfix=ram) I fixed mine up and removed redundant static libs ... huge size difference._________________Web Programming - Pet Packaging 100 & 101

GCMartin,
One thing I noticed right-off looking at your picture, is lack of a "help" button. The same with Psip -- well, I am trailing behind, I looked at it about a week ago, version 1.0 I think -- and I immediately noticed the main window lacked a "help" button.

Cos, newbies to Psip or voip in general might want some simple intro to what it is all about and how to get going._________________http://bkhome.org/news/
